INTRODUCTION:
A. Without question, the church of Christ is the greatest institution on earth.
1. Granted, there are many man made organizations that do much good, yet none are comparable to the body of Christ — it has no rival.
2. The church did not come by chance, nor was it the invention of man.
3. The Almighty had it in His eternal mind to prepare, plan, and plant His church over which Christ would be the head and in which are all the saved
In Mark 16:16, Jesus said that it is those who believe and are baptized that are saved. So, baptism is connected with salvation. Does baptism happen before a person is saved or after? Mark 16:16 says baptism happens before salvation.
Many will preach the parts of the Bible that they like, but they will not preach all of it. Paul said, “I kept back nothing that was helpful, but proclaimed it to you, and taught you publicly and from house to house” (Acts 20:20), and “For I have not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God” (Acts 20:27). Not only must we preach God’s word, we must preach all of it.
Some have the idea that this is how God has left us: groping around in this world without knowledge of what He wants. This is not the case! God has given us His Light to shine in the darkness, to illumine our path, to guide us home, and to lead others to Him (Ps. 119:110; Jn. 1:4-5; 8:12; II Tim. 3:16-17).
The mission of the King was to restore His kingdom by providing 1) Real Reconciliation, 2) Sustaining Sanctification, and 3) Eternal Expectations. Each person should understand that Jesus has accomplished His mission. Christ is King because He did what no other could do to provide for man’s salvation.

In essence: do you want a summary verse that teaches how we should treat our neighbors, our friends, our enemies, our spouses, our children, our acquaintances in every situation imaginable? Practice the Golden Rule and you’ll seldom go wrong.
